What do you think about today's episode?
Which British Cruiser is your favorite?:)

[AndrewTheRocketCityRailfan]

I finished my Goliath grind on Christmas Day this year. Man I loved her quickly. I don’t care what people say about this line, these cruisers are awesome. This was my favorite line of the year. Thank you for making such an amazing line

Impressive how your devs steamroll all those enemies in Co-op mode.

It's all balans!

Why the hell did anyone in the development think close range, slow HE spammers were a good idea? surely the whole idea of having big guns is to have big alpha with AP, if you want to do HE damage then the caliber doesn't matter, the Zao is a better choice as it is an all round better ship for using HE or the Hindenberg is more survivable and has better AP (which somehow does more damage with 203mm than the RN 234mm shells?! ) and the Hindi also has a better choice of consumables, with longer range Hydro. This whole line seems like it's had minimal effort put toward it while the devs are drooling over their new toy of the russian paper OP ships. it's like every decision and update they make with this game is just another middle finger to the players.

Easy, rule the waves in the new Russian Paper Ships when they come out.

So the British more or less invented the Naval use of Radar, yet only get a radar at tier ten, on one ship.
Because Balans

WG, you speak as if DFAA does anything useful in your game.

I got early access to HMS Surrey which appears to be a good ship, you won't be doing anything in a jiffy in it though. its a bit slow which has proved to be an issue when disengaging, even from bb's if you've got too close to your concealment. Great content Great game. can you remove the tacky gold "Royal Navy" lettering on the stern of the ships, the camo looks like it was designed by Danniella Westbrook!!!

[jaredw]

These ships have already been powercrept by the magical Soviet cruisers and they're brand new...

[MrRadialdrift]

"How to prevail in battle"? Don't use a British Heavy Cruiser, just leave it in port. Just confirming, WOW official guide states - get in close, due to poor accuracy, which nullifies the concealment ability. Do these disconnected devs actually play the game?

[KlerikerNero]

What a joke, I did all directives and didn't get a single British heavy cruiser.

[EnergiLad]

Maybe next British Battlecruiser line? Like renown, Queen Mary, G3s and N3s, Lion battlecruiser class and others. That would be awesome.

WG: It's vital for these ships to maneuver.
Also WG: Goliath's rudder shift time: 12, 5 sec.
Wtf?

[failomas]

and the new advent of the fantasy wet russian dream light and heavy cruiser where the preliminary stats are completely broken i see this poor line completely outdate already
the stats of the new ship can and will change but we now they will be even more broken than the kremlin and the smolensk
the capacity of WG to listen to the CC and the player base is so good, like a deaf

[someguynamedav]

Still not enough to pen Kremlin's deck though lmao

[captbumbler]

WG should be had up under the trades description act. nice video though

[gsylass]

Simples, wait for the new RU cruisers with their over-tuned stats. Balans!!

[CloneDAnon]

These look really nice, at least for my gameplay style :)

[theseasofenvy]

Any plans on new/returning operations? Now that narai's gone, the 4 in rotation can get really dry...

EDIT: Well shit, now they're all gone.

[joshrogers]

Well I’m certainly impressed because these hc vessels can still take a beating because it took a direct hit from a bb in the Hawkins and that shot completely bounced because of the angle I had it facing and British cruisers are the only ones with versatile torps which can be fired consecutively and in short or wide ranges for better accuracy
